RE: CORRECT SPELLING OF COMMANCHE

Glen Pond
Bruce Sutherland
Brad Liljenquist
Nyle Fullmer
Jim Flamm
Rose Bagley
J. D. Hancock
Richard Horner
Mayor Boyle told the council that he had a call from Rick Davis about
the spelling on the word Commanche. On the official plat it is
spelled with two "M" and he thinks it should be spelled with one "M".
Some of the street signs are spelled with two "M" and some with one
"M". J. D. said we have to spell it the way the plat shows.
RE: HANDICAPPED PARKING ON COLLEGE AVENUE
We had a request from the dentist on College Ave to change the
Handicapped to a non Handicapped. After checking it we need another
Handicapped sign on that street. If we change that one we need to put
it at a different location. (discussion) Brad suggested that we put
one at the end of the street so it could access Main Street as well as
College Ave.
Remind the council that there is a Chamber Forum today with Larry
Echohawk as the speaker.
RE: HOUSING/BUILDING INSPECTIONS
The people from the Housing Department at Ricks College called about
the College Housing Inspection. Our Ordinance calls for them to be
inspected every two years. The mayor felt the Building
Inspector/Engineer might not have time to do these. He suggested that
we hire someone on a part time bases to do some of these kind of
things.
RE: FIRE HYDRANT POLICY
The mayor asked the council if they wanted to proceed with the Fire
Hydrant Policy. Council felt we should proceed.
RE: DISCUSSION OF AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE
They discussed the amendment for the Zoning Ordinance. It was decided
to set a Public Hearing for October 20.
RE: DEPARTMENT HEAD MEETINGS
There will be a Department Head Meeting every month or every other
month. There will be a meeting October 5 at 9:00 A.M.
RE: DISCUSSION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF AN ENGINEER/BUILDING INSPECTOR
Glen Pond told the council we need to discuss the appointment of an
Engineer/Building Inspector.
Brad Liljenquist stated that he would like to declare a possible
Conflict of Interest and be excused from voting.

The mayor told the council that at the Legislative Meeting they
discussed the two statues for the Conflict of Interest. The mayor
discussed the statues with the council.
Glen Pond stated the Personnel Committee met last week and interviewed
two applicants. They appear to be equal in qualifications. The
applicant the committee would like to recommend was chosen based on him
having experience with the city and knowing where things are and how
things function within the city. This gave him a slight edge over the
other candidate. It was the recommendation of the Personnel Committee
that we pursue negotiations with John Millar and if those are
unsuccessful to proceed with the other candidate. Glen made a motion to
let the Personnel Committee negotiate with John Millar and if we are
unsuccessful to proceed with the other applicant. Seconded by Bruce
Sutherland. All Aye with Brad Abstaining.
The mayor stated that either applicant will not be able to start until
November 1.
RE: DISCUSSION OF SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The mayor discussed Solid Waste. Dave Rasmussen came in and met with
the mayor and Richard. Unless Congress does extent the date for the
landfill closure after October 9th, we will have to haul to Mud Lake
with our trucks for at least 6 months until they get things set up.
From our figures, they need to be payed about $1.25 per mile for us to
haul the garbage clear out there. They want to pay from the present
landfill on out instead of from Rexburg out. It will be expensive and
time consuming. We will probably have to get some part time help. It
will be hard on our trucks. There will have to be some hard
negotiations with the county on mileage. They were talking about $1.00
a mile. The county will have to pay $23.00 a ton to dump in the
Jefferson County Landfill. We need some place to dump the yard and
demolition. On Saturday October 9th we will have to haul the other way
if they don't get an extension.
Jim Flamm asked as John is interviewed, will there be any contact with
Forsgren? Glen told him yes, the council will sit down with Forsgren
and discuss the whole thing.
A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Jim Flamm to
adjourn. All Aye.
